IMPORTANT - soloist, please note: in order to limit the amount of languishing projects (and hence the amount of files on our hard-pressed server), we ask that you post an update at least once a month in your project thread, even if you haven't managed to record anything. If we don't hear from you for three months, your project may be opened up to a group project if a Book Coordinator is found. Files you have completed will be used in this project. If you haven't recorded anything yet, your project will be removed from the forum (contact any admin to see if it can be re-instated).Please don't download or listen to files belonging to projects in process (unless you are the BC or PL). Our servers are not set up to handle the greater volume of traffic. Please wait until the project has been completed. Thanks!

Magic Window:

BC Admin=========================================== This paragraph is temporary and will be replaced by the MC with the list of sections and reader (Magic Window) once this project is in the admin system.

OK, I think you are all set. We will hang out in the Launch Pad for a little while to see if we can catch a DPL (dedicated proof-listener). I added a ~ in the topic heading, which means that you are looking for one.

I've filled in the first three chapter titles just to get you going, but you can take it from here. Beware of the double quotation marks in Chapter 5. Archive.org (where our files are hosted) does not like double quotes! Change these to single quotes whenever you see them in chapter titles.

I will probably not be online again until Thursday evening (Eastern time zone), but just post here if you have any problems or questions.

@smijen - I took the liberty to put the link up on the magic window through the BC Admin site. Let me know if this is how I should proceed with the rest of the sections.

Thanks!Ali

You're off to a good start!

Here are your notes:

2:01: Gap between 'from whom' and 'she had' is a little too long5:58: (not required) The end of 'calculation' has been cut short8:00: 'cloaks' should be 'coats'8:27: 'were held' should be 'who held'16:23: 'joyous' should be 'jealous'16:31: Gap between 'felt that' and 'there were' is a little too long20:41: Gap between 'the little' and 'red tassels' is a little too long21:01: Gap between 'which all' and 'things converged' is a little too long23:42: Gap between 'as if' and 'there were' is a little too long23:51 (not required): 'on the practice' should be 'in the practice'

Oh, and as you're technically the BC for this project, yes, you should put the recordings into the MW yourself.

As for Chapter 2, there's only a couple of things:4:09 (not required): 'recreation' is here being used to mean 'time off', so should be pronounced 'rek-ree-EY-shun', not 'ree-kree-EY-shun'16:13: The ending silence is too short. It need to be 5 seconds, while you're at just less than 4.
